Join the Fight Against Cancer--Relay For Life Team Sign Ups in Lake Forest

LAKE FOREST, CA—By Margot Ferron

We Got This, Cancer Bashers, Kancer Kickers, bMomz and Gina’sTeam are just a few names of the teams who have made commitments to the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life Lake Forest, a 24-hour overnight event that will be held at the Lake Forest Sports Park, 28000 Rancho Parkway, Lake Forest, CA 92610 on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at 10 am to Sunday, July 31 at 10 am.

It only takes five or more people to form your own team under the name of church group, business, school yourself, families and friends honoring loved ones. If you are really clever, you can create your own team name.

How can you get involved? You can form a team; join a team or just volunteer to help. Now is a good time to start requesting your colleagues, family and friends to join your team.

Relay brings an array of participants together to fight against cancer. It’s a unique way to inspire hope and to create awareness to help those facing the disease.

Teams walk on the track and they are committed to creating awareness. They raise money in the fight against cancer. Join in the party atmosphere! Pitch a tent, camp-out, eat, feast, play games and entertainment.

Because Relay is a team event, individuals aren’t required to be there the entire time, but it’s so much fun you will get caught up in the party atmosphere and want to stay. The day is packed with entertainment- music, kids activities, onsite fundraisers, fight back messages, etc.

You don’t need to be a runner or even a walker to participate. The common thread is to have team members’ continuously walking, running or strolling around the track for 24 hours to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we have lost to the disease and to empower everyone to fight back against cancer.

Relay is a healing experience for those fighting cancer. It offers them a chance to meet others who have claimed victory over cancer. This is a great, free family event for the community, but it wouldn’t be possible without the teams.
